Is It True: The Reluctant Wife @warfieldcaro #historicalromance #RLFblog

Play Is It True
with today's guest Caroline Warfield author of The Reluctant Wife, a Historical
Romance set in 1835. This is a game in which authors answer yes and no
questions. They can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

When Bengal Army Captain Fred Wheatly, a disgraced soldier
with more honor than sense, is forced to resign, and his mistress dies leaving
him with two half-caste daughters to raise, he reluctantly turns to Clare
Armbruster for help. But the interfering, beautiful widow demands more of him
than he's ready to give. He's failed so often in the past. Clare's made
mistakes as well. Can two hearts rise above past failures to forge a future
together?

When all else fails, love succeeds...
